Women Are Temporary
Men who wear make-up and declare they are women, like the fun part of the experiment. Trans gender is hatred for women, hence the ridicule. They do not know the whole story of being a woman because they have a choice. They are men when they go to bed, and women in the morning as they prepare for Bud Light and Nike commercial shoots.
Being a woman is temporary. We are a necessary inconvenience because men want sons to continue their name. That is why we have Mr. and Mrs. Jones. That is why my surname is a family poster. I’m the daughter of my father whose father was my grandfather. Women are temporary because even in death, they cannot be ancestors. Zulu women are lucky because the culture upholds surnames they had before becoming ‘Mrs.’ My mother was called Ma-Ngcobo, after her maiden name. My grandmother was called Ma-Mkhize after her maiden name.
It stops there because they do not inherit property. They got married to bear sons that will inherit. This is ironic, when we think of the word inherit. In-her-it.(Something goes inside her, she gets pregnant and it grows to be a man and inherits the surname and property). Something like that, and it’s true in many cultures, unless there is a will.
Women do not inherit because they are temporary. They will grow up and get married, move to another family and bear sons for husbands. It’s a circle. Women are temporary even in simple daily life. They are the pillar of life through cooking and cleaning and they do it in kitchens and other enclosed areas where men cannot see them. Then night falls. They are summoned to the beds of kings, sheikhs, presidents, fishermen, hunters, football players, gamblers and drunkards.
Women do not have a choice because mothers told them it’s a man’s right. ‘Not tonight dear,’ is just a line in movies. Men engaged in the LGB …. alphabet know this, because they are abused on the regular, if they are ‘women’ in the relationship.
